THE NEW MARINE WONDER.
A Steamship Built to Revolutionize
Ocean Travel

From Washington Letter to Chicago Ne1rs
There is under construction at the sleepy
old town of Alexandria a steamship which,
if it turns out to be success, will revolu-
tonize ocean travel. l went down to look
at the model the other day with Chief En-
gineer Loring, of the navy, and other ex-
perts, and they are not pleased with the plan.
They think the ship is going to be failure,
but were very much interested in the de-
sign, and will watch its progress with alb
sorbing interest. The leading man in the
enterprise is Robert NJ Fryer, a brother-in-
law of Secretary Manning, He designed
the vessel, got patent for it last January,
and is furnishing good share of the money
for its construction. Mr.. Fryer is the man
who built the so-called marine wonder"
several years ago, the ship that went on
wheels and could travel on land as well as
on water, of which so much was said in the
newspapers at the time. There was never
but one craft of that sort constructed, and
she now lies at Hastings-on-the-H Hudson.
Mr.. Fryer says that he never made the
claims for her that were represented in the
newspapers, but did demonstrate by her
construction that the principal he asserted
was true, that vessel could be made which
would navigate on land as well as on water,
for he took her across the land from the
Harlem river to the Hudson without loosen
ing joint
Mr. Flyers new enterprise is something
very different. He has designed vessel
which he claims cannot sink nor burn, that
will have speed of twenty-five miles OF
more an hour, and will cross the ocean in
five days He had organized a company,
sold $500, 900 worth of stock, and has come
to Alexandria to construct her, where the
keel is now being laid. She is to be $40 feet
long and 40 feet beam, $500 tons burden,
and have engines of 1900 horse
power, with a capacity for devel-
opment to $1,000 horse power Her
model is similar to that of the little "Sti-
letto," which can run as fast as a locomo-
tive, and she is to be entirely flre-proof, no
wood being used in her construction except
for doors and the cabin trimming. All the
floors will be of marble and all partitions Of
iron. She is to have over a thousand air
and water-tight compartments entirely sep
arate from each other, so that she cannot
sink The vessel is not intended to carry
freight but only passengers, mails, and
treasure, and the space usually given to
freight in the hold is occupied with
these air-tight compartments. made so small
that in case of a collision it would not be
possible TO destroy them all unless the entire
boat is crushed. This vessel is intended to
be to ocean travel what the limited express
on the Pennsylvania railroad is to lend
travel, and, while it's success must be mat
ter of speculation till the experiment is fully
tried, I'm glad there is enterprise and cour-
age enough to try it.

1t was very amusing to note the attempts
OF the various senators during the late trip
to Cuba at the pronunciation of Spanish.
Mr.. Babcock, Senator Sherman's private sec
rotary, could hardly be persuaded to utter an
English word, and Senator Palmer, by the
rolling out Of such words as Terra del Fuego
and mixture of bastard Latin, attempted
to keep up the reputation which he had made
i'll Detroit as a Spanish scholar. The story
of this reputation is worth telling Senator
Palmer, as young man, went to Spain in a
sailing vessel, and Travelled throughout the
country enough to acquire pretty fair pro-
nunciation He knew but few Spanish words,
however, and as for making a speech in Span
ish, without the aid of a diction-
airy, he could about as easily make
one in Assyrian off hand Not long ago
a Mexican delegation, travelling through
the United States, stopped at Detroit
Senator Palmer was appointed to make
a speech upon their reception. He con-
cluded to surprise them by giving them
speech in Spanish. He went to a Spanish
scholar of his acquaintance and had him write
a speech for him. This, by the aid of his ex-
perience in Spain, he was able to pronounce
correctly, and he committed it to memory,
putting in gestures and pathos, as the senti-
ment required. When the Mexicans as
sembled before him he rolled out this speech
in the soft, mellow tones of their language,
and to the surprise of all, brought down APP
plause at every period. When his speech was
over the Mexicans crowded around him and
attempted to engage him in Spanish converse
ton He tried for a moment to show that he
could not talk Spanish, and finally had to pre-
tend that he was deaf in order to escape from
them.
He is a wonderfully versatile fellow, this
senator from Michigan. He has a wide
knowledge of history, and he has as many
strange bits of information packed away in
the recesses of his brain as he has dollars in
his bank account. He can tell a good story,
sing good song and he takes life easier and
gets more out of it than any other public man
know. Dnring the trip to Cuba he was the
life of the party, and he is as pleasant a
travelling companion as you viii find in a
twelve month. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
